ProjectConnect is a peer-led initiative to help build social connection and community on campus. Drop by the weekly ProjectConnect lunch Thursdays from 1-2 p.m. at the Val community table in the front room to meet the peer facilitators and learn more about it, or to get to know students who've been through the program. Sponsored by the Wellness Team and the Office of Diversity and Inclusion.

Dynamic speaker and bestselling author Emily Nagoski, PhD, will give a talk on her newly released book, Burnout, which explores the gap between societal expectations of women and what it’s really like to be a woman in today’s world. How can you “love your body” when every magazine cover has ten diet tips for becoming “your best self”? How do you “lean in” when you’re already operating at 110% and aren’t recognized for it? Nagoski explains what we’re up against with compassion—and offers concrete strategies to end the stress cycle and fight back. This session is geared toward staff and faculty.
